SAS drive Firmware Update recommended but can't find an update

Hi there,

We have a proliant Gen 8 running 2008 R2 and recently one of the drives failed, so I got a new one but the Smart Storage Administrator software is saying the firmware should be updated from HPD2 to a minimum HPD4 .. problem is the latest one I can find for the drive is HPD2.

Re: SAS drive Firmware Update recommended but can't find an update

I can find a version HPD2 with a latest timestamp april 2019.

Maybe you have other drive models in your system too?

Hope this helps!RegardsTorsten.

Different model, different firmware.Even if zhe vrrsion has the same name, the firmware itself is different again and model specific.

Hope this helps!RegardsTorsten.
